The year 2010 was not a great one for democracy in Ukraine, according to Yevhen Zaharov, head of the Kharkiv Human Rights Group. The number of public protests increased by a third in 2010, while mass media dependence on the authorities increased and Ukraine's leadership adopted that the policy of favoring big business at the expense of small business and ordinary people has received a failing grade from Ukrainians, Zaharov says. In 2010, President Viktor Yanukovych's regime violated the right of Ukrainians to protest more often than the nation's former leadership did in all five years that it was in power.
